Did anyone else see the new P.U.’s yet?

Did I miss something?

When did Ric guitars and basses start to come out with adjustable pole heights on the pick ups?

If you look closely you can see the allen heads on top of the poles,

That's to make them easier to pull out when we put toaster covers on them. Image

Are you sure about that? This is a closeup of the pic on the POR site. This one looks normal to me.

It's hard to see it Ted from that photo. I only noticed it when I saw in person.

Forgive the ****** hand sketch, but this is how it looked on both a new 4003 and a 360.

Each pole could go up or down,

No, the alnico poles are not adjustable. Do you have cause to adjust them?

I wonder if these two were just samples, or if all of them will start to come out this way?

I did not see anything like that in the factory during the 75th celebration.

Those poles looked normal to me too. Under 400% magnification they looked like normal buttons.

I sure if someone were to call POTR, all this would be confirmed...

If you look at the 360 JG on the POTR site, you can see it a bit better.
